Adapted posthumously from the 1925 original ink and watercolor on illustration board.

Elephant Presenting Flower to a Bird (1925) is one of Dr. Seuss’s earliest paintings and a true precursor to his Deco Period—1930-49. His use of saturated black backgrounds combined with signature smoke rings, labyrinths, and deco architectural elements allowed him to create a new visual language that accentuated the muted pallets so characteristic of this period.
